Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I brought a box of postcards to the office to share with my coworkers for World Postcard Day and was pleasantly surprised at what a hit they were! Gave away more than 100 postcard stamps and at least a 3-4” stack of cards. Keeping the USPS going a little longer. 182

Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 24/08/2026How funny, this is the end of my “snacks brought back from Japan” stash! 010
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Found this little lady hunting in the daisy patch I was cutting back. Also scared a little toad hanging out in the chives, but it was too fast for photos. 🌱 0403
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 19/08/2026It breaks my heart to report that the olive burger I had today from the downtown Flint Halo Burger was not as good as the one I had on Saturday at Piazzano’s in Lansing. Seeing the Vernor’s mural was a small consolation. 1121
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Trying to squeeze in lots of crafting today! Just cut back some lavender and threw together a quick and dirty wreath instead of composting it. I figured out about halfway in that it would have been a lot easier to add the lavender to an existing wreath. 🌱🧶 0302
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Mostly failed ecoprinting on paper experiment using black tea instead of iron and vinegar and a variety of papers. A few interesting bits, but mostly a mess. 3102
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 16/08/2026It's absolutely infuriating that I can't even go to work without getting tracked on Flock cameras, but it feels extremely personal that these two are pointed exactly to monitor two of my siblings' homes and businesses and the Old Town festivals. @andyschor.bsky.social why and who decides this? 283
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Happy to get an “I voted” sticker that coordinated with my shirt. 2102
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Really fun outdoor ecoprinting class at @lansingmakers.bsky.social this afternoon. I’m going to try it again on watercolor paper. 062
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Nothing to do this weekend but rewatch Murderbot for the 48th time and make stuff! 🧶 071
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Not as many bees out today. Hoping the terrible air quality over the past few days hasn’t affected them. 🐝🌱 1231
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Nightly bowl of raspberries from the garden (with a bonus blackberry), and one of the many sweet little fireflies blinking around the yard. 🌱 4436
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 11/07/2026My favorite piece at this year’s Scrapfest isn’t an entry but is available for sale: “Magoi” by idmato. Gorgeous. 1113
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Sorting through a little 2” crafting paper pad of pretty butterflies, Gibson Girls, and travel and discovered someone had a bit of extra fun at their job and nobody noticed. 151
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 03/07/2026It looked just as bad before the tornado warning. 040
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 28/06/2026And now I’m obsessed. I pulled out some stamps I’ve been saving for a few years and paper from Japan. 2121
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 25/06/2026After my partner’s grandparents passed away almost 20 years ago I scavenged ephemera from their house hoping to make something crafty for his family. I’ve finally figured out a project for some of it using the button maker from my local “library of things.” 1100
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Traditional Father’s Day tomahawk throwing. I’m terribly out of practice. My baby brother is not. 041
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 19/06/2026If anyone would like to make their own fortune telling machine, I’m seeing some real potential in this case at @msusurplus.bsky.social. 1110
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I used to be so good at making fruit and veg surprise balls. These are just sad, but hopefully the recipients will find them amusing. 170
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Donating blood at the Flint Red Cross for the last time. Just learned they’re closing up shop. 171
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 11/06/2026There’s a really comprehensive M.C. Escher exhibition at the Flint Institute of Arts through mid-September. Although most if not all of his greatest hits are included, this little fellow is my favorite piece. 1183
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 25/05/2026First poppy of the season, just in time for Memorial Day. 🌱 1211

Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Bloodywood in Detroit! (Flashing lights. Not sure why the audio is cutting out, and didn’t notice I stopped recording when the phone got thwacked.) 091
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Home just in time to see Bloodywood in Detroit tomorrow. Their shows are really joyful and sweet and worth going if you can (but the sound is terrible if you watch from the side of the stage). 071
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Rainbow wrap-up for a perfect quick vacation with my family. 🌈 0130
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I did, but it was so sweet I could only eat a few bites! I ate much more of the praline brioche than I should have. Also really enjoyed the cervelle de canut at the first bouchon we went to. The food here is wonderful! 110
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Leon specialties and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. 🍜 3150
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Le Bal des Ardents is my new favorite bookstore. Excellent music, tons of inappropriate, art, and political books, and Felicien Rops right out in the open. 061
Macie hates it here @macie.bsky.social · 10/05/2026More Beaujolais drinking in Beaujolais. I don’t want to go home. 161
